Sweet Potato Bacon
Stuffed Mushrooms
Our mushrooms are filled with a filling of sweet potatoes and smoked bacon. These makes a great appetizer, side-dish or even a whole meal if served with a bowl of green salad.
Mushrooms are so versatille - you can turn then into a creamy soup, delicious risotto or toss pasta with them. We adore to bake them in the oven after we coated into breadcrumbs and herbs.

Tip for cleaning the mushrooms
- Mushrooms grow low to the ground and often get pretty dirty. The best way to clean the mushrooms is to use a damp kitchen paper towel and rub lightly.
- Do not rinse them in the water - they will absorb liquid and will lose texture and flavour. Once they are cleaned, cut carefully the stem off and chop using a sharp knife on a cutting board.
